Return null default value if no result found

Question

I have a collection that looks like this:

{  
\"value\" : \"20\",
\"type\" : \"square\",
\"name\" : \"form1\"
}
{
\"value\" : \"24\",
\"type\" : \"circle\",
         


        

Answer 1

Why you dont check in callback if result==null and create your own empty object?

let name = "form4";
db.myCollec.find({"name":name} , {"name":1, "type":1, "_id":0}, function(err, result){
    if(err) {
         // Error handling
         return;
    }
    if (result==null){
        result = {"name":name, "type":null};
    }
});
